From my Grandma’s Recipe Box.

Who doesn’t love a quick and easy dessert?

A couple weeks back when I was scouring my Grandma Arlene’s recipe box for a recipe for National Pi Day, I came across several and I couldn’t choose which one to make.

But this recipe caught my eye too, and I knew I had to make it soon![Read more…] about Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

I didn’t always like seafood, let alone Shrimp Scampi! I think growing up in the Midwest as beef and potatoes eating people, really hindered me even wanting to try it in the first place. Also, my mother doesn’t like fish at all, and as the person who cooked in the house, you can imagine that the following meal wasn’t ever on the menu!

So when I met my husband and he loved fish we had a little problem. I remember meeting his Dad for the first time; when we were out to eat and he ordered calamari he couldn’t understand why I didn’t eat fish, so he teased me until I tried a piece. I still don’t really care for calamari today, but it was a start. As time went on my husband would always “encourage” me to try a bite anytime he ordered fish.

On the week nights I don’t like to always spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Plus, with spring coming along we now have a schedule full of after school activities for our kids. Between two soccer teams and swim lessons, it leaves for little time and extremely hungry kids. [Read more…] about Steak and Bok Choy Stir Fry
